Glockenspiel

Xylophone

Because Pudge has got rhythm, I bought a xylophone (or more precisely, as Wikipedia informs me, a glockenspiel). He loves it a lot, and so does Charlotte, as can be seen from this photo (whereas Marcel seems to largely ignore it).

He has definitely got the hang of it – he instinctively knows how to hold the sticks, and he’s quickly getting a more controlled touch.

I wonder how long it’ll take before he starts playing tunes… ;-)

    If his RHYTHM comes from his mother’s side I’d guess about 35-years !

    Aren’t you a bit hard on poor Phyllis? Or are you implying her musical skills have suddenly improved over the past two years? ;-)
